Purism is going to be present at libreplanet 2017. On this forum some say purism are fooling people. What does thinkpenguin think? Thinkpenguin will also be present in the exhibit hall.
They are presenting a Librem 13 running coreboot with a hacked ME.

Wow fkng great!! thanks for the information.
Why don't they use Trisquel? Why did they insist on further dividing the community with their own OS?
As the FSF says, https://www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html
"If you wish to improve the state of free distros, helping to develop an existing free distro contributes more than starting a new one."
You should not care about it, you can install OS you want, blobbed or not. The important thing is neutralize ME (and other Intel's malware/bloatware) and flashed Coreboot/Libreboot.
> and flashed Coreboot/Libreboot.
This is a confusing statement, and it's not very important, because Coreboot on modern Intel processors is just a shim for proprietary initialization blobs. It might be about as important as using a libre implementation of the ls command on Mac OS X. Very little real difference.
The "neutralized" ME is the important thing, and even then, it's not an acceptable state of affairs; it's just better than a fully capable ME.
Yes I know, coreboot can integrate blobs, and it does for Intel i series.
